1987 Nissan 200SX SE review from North America
"One of the 5 best I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter quit @ 77,000.
Transmission failed @130,000.
I've installed 2 steering racks.
General comments?
I've owned this beauty since it's 14,000 th birthday.It's now celebrating 202,000,and is still very strong.
The car is black ; the exterior needs new paint to look sharp, and the black interior is still original (although somewhat sun-faded).
The motor and trans are primo and the rebuilt suspension has made the coupe into a handler.
Four years ago, the A/C failed, but I had it rebuilt to the non-Freon standards.
Except for the trans dying, it's never left me at the side of the road.
